Claims8
A device for measuring an electric field in a conducting medium, comprising:
- two electrodes separated by a volume of an insulating medium;
- a current measurement device;
- a voltage measurement device;
- a switch enabling to alternately connect the current measurement device and the voltage measurement device between the electrodes;
- and
- a control and processing unit capable of implementing a calibration method comprising the steps of:
- a) controlling the switch to connect the current measurement device between the electrodes, and measuring current I between the electrodes by means of the current measurement device;
- and
- b) controlling the switch to connect the voltage measurement device between the electrodes, and measuring voltage ΔV between the electrodes by means of the voltage measurement device.
